Ball of Nothing

Chapter 24 Memory Fragment 5

(I’ve created such a wonderful world.)

"Yes, you have! In fact, I can’t wait to bring Clow and Rose along to tour this new world." Zesti squealed.

Clow and Zesti didn’t look as enthusiastic and remained silent. My past self didn’t say anything either but it wasn’t hard to guess what I was feeling.

Dissatisfaction.

Even after creating so many things, the one thing that my past self wanted still wasn’t fulfilled. From the syncing of memories, I knew what my past self wanted. It was what I wanted too at the beginning.

(Mm, it’s wonderful indeed. However, all this is for nought. My only desire is still unfulfilled.)

Puzzled, Zesti looked at Clow and Rose but neither of them knew.

(If only I could move from this spot...)

Hearing this, Zesti lit up. "I know! How about we carry you to wherever you’d like to go?"

Tried they did. However, the darkness couldn’t be grasped by hands, touched or moved. My past self sighed. It was futile. Hence the only thing left to do was to send Zesti away with Clow and Rose hoping they could find a solution.

After the last of the divine beings left, the darkness grew bigger. Everything drifted away from it and slowly, the things I could see faded away once more. Was this how I ended up in the darkness? Everything that was created simply moved away, leaving the empty space behind. No matter how great the creation, it wasn’t enough to fill this void. While things changed and moved, I remained constant. It seemed like my past self was unable to escape this misery either.

When everything faded to black again, my past self finally gave in and slept. It was a restless sleep with so many thoughts and ideas battling it out. The solutions my past self came up with might be different from what I came up with but we ended up with the same results. No matter how brilliant it was, one couldn’t simply change one’s fate.

If the newbie God had not come by, I might never be able to move from that space. Then again, this was strange. When Zesti grabbed my past self, she couldn’t touch me. Why was it that a mere space rock was able to move me along? Something didn’t add up. Was it because the newbie god wasn’t a creation of mine? No, Sedna was able to touch me too. That’s not making sense! Something changed.

I changed.

But how?

Intense grief? Nothing is scarier than not knowing, bring it on!
